Chapter 375

Elodie never expected her grandmother to know about this already. She was baffled. "Jarrod agreed to it too?"

"Of course he did. I suggested it would he dare refuse me?"

Elodie frowned and fell silent for a moment.

She truly hadn't thought things would get so grandiose.

And Jarrod actually went along with it.

Wasn't he worried something might slip and their past would come to light?

"Grandma, really, there's no need to go through all this trouble. It's just a small thing." Elodie rubbed her temples, her mind racing for a way to politely decline.

"Nonsense, what trouble is it for me? I've already put down a $100,000 deposit and picked the weekend so it won't interfere with anyone's schedule. Don't be so formal with me. I'll let you know the details when the time comes."

Her grandmother knew her well-she didn't give Elodie any opening to refuse and briskly ended the call.
